The Office: Two Weeks, 5.21

Summary (NBC): Michael’s relationship with the new vice president (guest star Idris Elba) becomes increasingly tense, as Michael finds an excuse to goof off even more than usual. Meanwhile, Pam faces the challenge of a new copier and Kelly develops a crush.

I may be in the minority but can they please stop with Pam and her 5 year personal growth quest and finally focus some growth on Jim? I mean he does nothing now, doesn’t even prank much anymore.

And I mean the economy is bad, the paper market is bad, Jim/Pam have a wedding to pay for plus everyday bills yet Jim isn’t phased at all about Pam quitting? Unless they plan on turning him into Data from Star Trek lol he just seems so emotionless lately.

I guess I’m just tired of all this “Jim is finally going to grow” hints and mini stories then nothing happens.

Oh my God…I knew it was coming, but watching it…oh my God! Is Jim seriously okay with this??? But I’m really proud of Pam. It felt like her coal walk. That was her standing up for her personal life and emotions, and this is her standing up for her professional life.

One of the best moments was Michael pulling on Phyllis’ chair and Charles watching from the blinds…hilarious.

Oh man I can’t believe Pam quit with Michael, I gotta say I saw it coming though. When she was in the interview after she fixed the copier, and then I think she really decided when Michael said they weren’t living up to their potential, or something like that. I saw her face and kept saying, “don’t do it, don’t do it.”

How is Jim going to handle no Pam and no Dwight pranks with Charles around?

So disappointing. There was absolutely no lead-up in previous episodes to Pam quitting, and her doing so without even glancing at Jim was so dysfunctional. Where are the Jim and Pam we loved all these years? I hardly recognize them.
